"Dr. Timothy Leary - Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out -1967 US":

"Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out" is a 1967 album credited to Timothy Leary, created to accompany the documentary film of the same name. It consists of a narrated meditation mixed with freeform psychedelic rock music.
In the 1960s and '70s, Dr. Timothy Leary managed to offend people on both the left and right. President Richard Nixon called him "the most dangerous man in America," and many liberals and progressives felt that Leary's blatant promotion of LSD hurt their causes. Regardless, Leary was an icon of the psychedelic '60s counterculture, and some of his psychedelic theories and ideas can be heard on "Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out".  On this album, one hears Leary expressing his belief that most of society's problems are caused by people over 40 (although Leary himself was about 46 or 47 at the time) and complaining that the American school system breeds mindless conformity, but mostly, he talks about drugs, especially LSD, which Leary believed could dramatically change society for the better.
